Instrument Examples
Name Origin Author(s) Source code Description
None Be_BM_beamline (Be_BM_beamline.instr) Risø DTU E. Knudsen (erkn@risoe.dtu.dk) instr Be-lens Bending Magnet, Low Budget Monochromatic (pink) X-ray beamline
ESRF ESRF_ID11 (ESRF_ID11.instr) Risø DTU E. Knudsen (erkn@risoe.dtu.dk) instr
SAXSLAB SAXS_saxlab (JJ_SAXS.instr) Risø DTU, (Finnair flight AY67 to Hong Kong) Erik Knudsen (erkn@risoe.dtu.dk) instr Crude model of a laboratory SAXS-instrument mimicking the type sold by SAXSlab/JJ-Xray Systems.
NSLS2 NSLS2_CHX_beamline (NSLS2_CHX_beamline.instr) NBI, BNL Jana Baltser instr This is a lay-out of the coherent hard x-ray (CHX) beamline at NSLS-II. Since the ray-tracing method doesn't allow to account for partial coherence of the undulator source, the best approximation was to use the gaussian photon beam and to neglect diffraction effects on apertures. The choice of the source sizes along with angular divergence corresponds to the situation of high emittance (e=0.99nm).
Tests_optics Test_Filter (Test_Filter.instr) Risø DTU Erik Knudsen (erkn@risoe.dtu.dk) instr Test instrument for checking the Filter.comp component
Tests_optics Test_Monochromators (Test_Mono.instr) NBI,Risø DTU A. Vickery, A. Prodi and E. Knudsen instr Compares intensities of Monochromator components.
Tests_optics Test_chopper (Test_chopper.instr) Risø DTU Erik Knudsen (erkn@risoe.dtu.dk) instr
